What this is, in plain language
A Sunsational instructor comes to your own pool (or a community pool) to give one-on-one swim lessons for children and adults with autism, ADHD, Down syndrome or other sensory or physical differences. Instructors are CPR-certified and background-checked, and are matched to your child based on the needs you note when registering.
